Expensive Fantasies

Ashlee Simpson continued fooling the world into indulging her and her music career last night on Jay Leno's talk show. She performed a track called "Little Miss Obsessive" and — believe it or not — she didn't lip-sync, which was just one of the reasons it was bad.

every pop stars most useful accessory: black back up singers.
Okay, first of all, the very first "Whoa, whoa," tipped me off that I'm not going to like the song. But the truth is, it's not bad for her and for being live. My issue is with her stage "presence." Who says she was the youngest dancer with the Texas Ballet or something? I hate her moves. Unless she's now constantly clenching her vagina to avoid getting impregnated with a kid who will eventually replace Bat Boy as the world's ugliest little man, she needs to stop immediately.
Also, why is she now adopting her sister's weird nasaliness? These two sing like deaf women, and it's getting on my nerves. So maybe it got better, but I'll never know because I couldn't be bothered to listen to the whole thing, even while typing.
"But the truth is, it’s not bad for her and for being live."
Here's the thing: To sing live, you have to sing on key. She obviously can't. This pathetic bitch has no talent and as you pointed out, no stage presence, no nothing. She shouldn't be anywhere NEAR a stage.
If you removed Ashlee from the equation and let one (or both) of the backup singers sing the main part, I'd like this song a bazillion times better.
Aww, looking at these pictures makes me kinda miss Ashlee's old face. At least it was hers.
It sounds like they turned her mic down.
Good choice.
UR jest jealis, postin her old nose. Haterz!!1!
Tayo may be right, it may be a good pop song. Unfortunately I couldn't understand one blessed word she was saying. Or, um, really hear what note she was trying to hit. The back up singers were good though.
Lale, true enough. There is no place for a woah, woah (except livin on a prayer, but it was done with a talkbox, so it gets a pass) at the begining of a song. Just start it, stop fiddling around with woahs.
That was a barely adequate bar performance. Her voice wouldn't get her in American Idol's top 10. She and her sister have had far more success than their talents merit. They'll be remembered as among the worst pop singers of this decade.
Onesidhe, I stand behind my comment. While I wholeheartedly agree with you that it's a pathetic thing to have to accept, the truth is that talent and fame have never been involved in a mutually symbiotic relationship. At least Britney Spears had the courtesy to lip sync at her concerts, right? Ashlee's famous, she's making records, and we all have to contend with that. I'm just trying to make the best of a bad situation.
Run, I'm offended at your spelling of "adequate." How dare you not use an "i"?
Be Adequite, y'all!
Yay!
True, Lale. Brit-Brit STILL has the courtesy to lip sync her crap. If only the Simpson sisters would do us the courtesy of disappearing off the face of the earth.
Let's send them to Europe!
Take another look, Mollygood, she DID lip stink it.
I am lip syncing a pair of birds to all the Simpson girls out there tonight. Party's over, bitches. Time to look into those backup plans you never thought you'd need.
